A white coworker in Chicago, age 45, sick for 9 days. Some black older obese relatives of another coworker, in NY, 2 died. A white 50 year old son of another coworker in CA—with an underlying condition, hospitalized and released and tired for a few weeks.

All of these were May or earlier.

" I have my HCQ drug stash just in case and also take more vitamins."

Where did YOU get HCQ, and what vitamins do you take?

My overweight, 78-year-old best friend and his wife got it from their college-age daughter. He was hospitalized for a week, mostly recovered after treatment with Remdesiver.

I take daily megadoses of liposomal vitamin C and vitamin D, plus supplements of zinc and copper, CBD oil, and quercetin as prophylaxis agents. Have tested clear for the virus and its antibodies.

I live in both Cincinnati and Naples right now. (And spend summers in Sweden.) I still do not know anyone personally that has had the disease.

Supposedly, friends of friends have had it but no one I know and associate with.

Kind of weird actually, with all the hype.

About ten people I’ve known have had the virus. One family I know lost their 12 year old daughter. She had scleroderma, COVID pushed her over and her poor body just couldn’t handle it.

My next door neighbors (husband and wife in late 50s) had it early on and seem to be doing fine. No hospitalization but were symptomatic. I know two people who lost elderly mothers in nursing homes. Someone I used to volunteer with many years ago died from it in his early 70s. He had major health issues. Son’s college baseball teammate had it. No issues as far as I know. I am sure there are others.

My son had it early on. March, I believe. He’s 20 and plays college baseball, so he’s in pretty good shape. Lost his sense of taste and smell for a couple of days. No other symptoms at all. My uncle has it now, he’s late 60’s and having a little rougher time with it, so hopefully he recovers alright.

My lady and I had it in early January, after we went to California for a trip to visit family. We stopped at a Denny’s Restaurant just north of McCarran Airport in Las Vegas on the way, where we were seated near a large Chinese family who were all chattering away in Chinese and hacking and coughing, not covering their mouths. We asked to be moved to another table but the restaurant was full and no tables were available. We should have gotten up and left to find another restaurant.

A week and a half after we returned, before the first “official” case was diagnosed in Washington state, both of us came down with something similar to the flu. We both lost our sense of taste, low grade fever, joint aches, head aches, difficulty breathing. Later my lady developed “covid toes”.

About three weeks after we sort of recovered, but were still exhausted, I was scheduled for a medical procedure. When they did the routine blood pressure checks, they also did a check of my blood oxygen level and found it was only 91%. Before the illness, my blood oxygen levels had always been 97% to 98%. This was a bit alarming. I had a follow-up appointment with my pain management specialist two weeks after the procedure and they again tested my Blood oxygen level where this time it was 89%. 88% is consider getting into dangerously low territory, The pain specialist suggested monitoring it very closely and talking to my GP about what was going on.

I bought an inexpensive blood oximeter from Amazon (under $25) and started checking my O2 levels during various conditions. I found it seldom got above 92%. At night, I’d wake and found it as low as 86%, not good! My GP ordered an overnight Blood Oximeter monitoring test. The test revealed that I was below 87% for 176 continuous minutes and hit as low as 81%, all while not showing any signs of sleep apnea.

I had done some research and some “recovered” COVID19 victims had the same blood oxygen level issues. No one knew why except that victims’ blood had lost some ability to bind oxygen similar to victims of carbon monoxide poisoning.

I now have to sleep with an oxygen supplement which gets my O2 level up to about 95%. . . and I have to use the power shopping carts when I go into stores. Thanks China!

You know more than 36 different people who have lost more than 36 businesses?

Do you work for the Chamber of Commerce? That is a huge number.

I have zinc in my AREDS 2 vitamins already. Sometimes I take a little extra though. You can get Quercetin and zinc from Amazon. Not sure what the recommended dose is, but Quercetin is a natural ingredient found in lots of foods. From what I understand you don't want to overdo zinc.

Probably the recommended amount would vary a little if you plan to take it every day or not. I take the 475 dose. Not every day, but my husband has been taking it everyday recently because he has been going out more.

Dr Zelenko list Quercetin for the Prehospital Management.
He has a good twitter account with lots of information at
